Food Over Pills: Rethinking Health and Survival Through Nutrition

This talk challenges the pills-first approach that dominates modern healthcare, asking what it would mean to prioritise food as our primary medicine. Moving beyond calories, fads, and quick fixes, we will explore how nutrition can shift us from a reactive model of sick-care to a proactive vision of true health-care—where food is not an afterthought, but the foundation of prevention, healing, and long-term resilience.
